The Inferior Court of Buncombe, so far
as the House could do it, should be wiped
out, and a court instituted, elected by the
people, who would have grand jurieS that
were not afraid to indict county commits
sioners for any offense. He dared Fur
man and the State Senate to defeat the
wishes of the people. He censured the
President of the Senate for calling SEN
ator Pou [of the committee on PROPOSE
tions and Grievances3 to the chair pend
ing the consideration of the question of
his repeal of the Buncombe stock law.
He did not want to make President Sted-
man mad, but he did NOT think it was
right for him to leave his chair and cir
cuIate on the floor for or against any
measure, and he ought to have given the
people of Buncombe a white mans
chance.
He eensured heavily the editors Of
the Asheyille CITIzEE, referring direct.
IL TO Messrs FGrmau and Cameron, and
said itsWas i1is purpose when be went to
Raleigh TO defeat them if he could for
the position of chief clerk of the two
houses. He only found it in his power
to defeat Col. Cameron in the House, Che
had the highest regard personally for
Col. Cameron and he only wished it
had been in his power to defeat Mr..
Furman instead of Col Cameron, but he
found Mr. F. entrenched behind his SEN
atorial friends, and he conld not reach
him.
He had not gone back, as claimed, by
the CITIZEN. on his record concerning
the County Government question. He
had said he would not favor an entire re-
peal of the system, but that he would
support measure which would place
only responsible men in Office. He here
discussed his bill on this subject, the
ring Of Magistrates and Commissioners
as now existing in every county; he
wanted to abolish the joint board, and
have the Commissioners elected by the
people. He believed the House would
pass his bill, but its fate in the Senate
/ was doubtful, as that body did not want
this question to come before the people.
The time was too short now to do
anything on the stock law question, ex.
! cept to define the time for election and
the going into effect of the measure-he
would suggest the election in June and
j the law to be made effective first oi
January next.
i The Railroad Commission bill haG
been killed by the railroad men-it only
took one day to do this work, to change
a vote OF. 20 to % to that of minority
for the measure; he believed railroad in
fuence could accomplish anything.
Mr.. E. D. Carter responded to calls
He could add nothing to what had been
said of the outrage perpetrated-but he
proceeded to add good deal.
Mr.. T. ]. Gambler submitted the fol
/ lowing resolution which was adopted:
Resolved, That we favor the co unity
: government bill which allows the peo
pie to elect the county commissioners
J and if such an amendment be submitted
to the people of the State, we feel SURF
that the people of Buncombe county
will approve the amendment by a
, least 1000 majority.
